REGULAR ADAPTER FOR HEAT-AND-MASS EXCHANGE APPARATUSES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B01J19/32 B01D53/18 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to regular adapters to be used in oil-and-gas, chemical, petrochemical and other industries. Proposed adapter comprises packs of a bundle of vertical tubes arranged in parallel that featured cross-section varying along their axes and spacer units composed of horizontal triangular prisms. Note here that prisms in rows adjacent over height are turned through 90 degrees. Tubes in packs in rows adjacent over height are mounted with shift equal to half the tube diameter. Said tubes feature Cassinian oval-shape while ratio between diameters of widest and narrowest cross-sections makes 2:1.
